Does anyone know of a national rollout time?

F**king Great!

Very interesting device and service.

Can't wait to see final specs for hardware, service, roll out cities and pricing.

That is one butt-ugly, funky-looking remote, tho.

if they need a tester in ohio, call me, I would love it! I think Garypen and I will be camping out on the same night in our respective cities waiting like little kids at christmas!

Any idea what this is going to cost?

I am an AT&T/Dish customer, which does not make me happy since I have now invested a bundle with my current setup.

You and me both.

You and me both.

Me three. Unfortunately for me I can't get this receiver anyways. DSL is not stable at my place, too far away from their central office (already tried it). My only option is cable broadband.

Looks pretty sleek!

I'm more interested in the "Homezone" that includes DISH network service, more than one DVR, ondemand capabilities and high speed DSL.

I believe that "Uverse" is the IPTV service that is supposed to compete with cable and satellite using VDSL.

 

[charper1]

maybe VDSL2

In Connecticut, the regulatory approval has been granted to get the ball rolling:

...state regulators Wednesday narrowly approved AT&T Inc.'s request to offer television service over its telephone lines without being regulated like a cable TV franchise.

Barring a court-ordered stay, Emra said, AT&T expects to begin making improvements in equipment immediately, and to begin offering IPTV service in some areas by "the end of the year."

You can call it AT&T TV from now on

Plus, they're adding OnDemand in addition to already planned Dish programming, Yahoo web content, and home media network functions. Sweet. And about time! (My Comcast "ditch the dish" discount is ending in 4 months.)

AT&T announced Tuesday that it will team up with San Mateo-based Akimbo to allow customers to download movies and shows over the Internet through AT&T's upcoming television service this summer.

The new AT&T service, called Homezone, is set to start in California and 12 other states by late summer.
